It is primarily geared toward laboratories, producers, suppliers and purchasers of solid recovered fuels but is also

17、 useful for the authorities and inspection organizations. The method specified in this European Standard is based on CEN/TS 14775 as well as ISO 1171. BS EN 15403:2011EN 15403:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of ash content of all solid recovered fue

21、s fraction in percent of the dry matter in the fuel 4 Principle The sample is heated in air atmosphere up to a temperature of (550 10) C under rigidly controlled conditions of time, sample mass and equipment specifications. The ash content is determined by calculation from the mass of the residue re

22、maining after heating. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Dish, consisting of inert material such as porcelain, silica or platinum, with a depth from 10 mm to 20 mm and such a size that the sample loading does not exceed 0,1 g/cm2bottom area. 5.2 Furnace, capable of maintaining a zone of uniform temperature at the lev

23、els required in Clause 7 and to reach these levels in the specified heating rates. The ventilation rate through the furnace should be such that no lack of oxygen arises during the heating procedure. NOTE A ventilation rate from 5 air changes/min to 10 air changes/min should be suitable. 5.3 Balance,

24、 capable of weighing the dish containing the sample to the nearest 0,1 mg. 5.4 Desiccator, without desiccant. NOTE The use of a desiccator without desiccant is specified in ISO 1171 and emphasised here since ashes from solid recovered fuels are often more hygroscopic than coal ashes. BS EN 15403:201

25、1EN 15403:2011 (E) 6 5.5 Sieve 5.6 Container, sealed airtight. 6 Sampling and sample preparation The general analysis sample shall be taken and prepared in accordance with EN 15442 and EN 15443. It shall be ground to pass through a sieve with an aperture size of 1 mm. The general analysis sample sha

26、ll be received in the laboratory in the container (5.6). The general analysis sample shall either be oven-dried or its moisture content determined in accordance with EN 15414-3. The general analysis sample shall be mixed carefully before weighing (see also Clause 7). 7 Procedure A minimum of two det

27、erminations shall be carried out on the general analysis sample. Heat the empty dish (5.1) in the furnace (5.2) to (550 10) C for at least 60 min. Allow the dish to cool down in a desiccator. After the dish is cooled, weigh it to the nearest 0,1 mg and record the mass. Place about 1 g of the general

28、 analysis sample on the bottom of the dish and spread in an even layer over the bottom surface. Weigh the dish plus the sample to the nearest 0,1 mg and record the mass. If the general analysis sample is oven-dried, both the dish and the sample shall be dried at (105 10) C as a precautionary measure

29、 and then weighed. Place the loaded dish in the cold furnace. Heat the sample in the furnace according to the following heating routine: a) raise the furnace temperature evenly to (250 10) C over a period of 50 min (i.e. a rise of 5 K/min). Maintain at this temperature level for 60 min to allow the

30、volatiles to leave the sample before ignition; b) continue to raise the furnace temperature evenly to (550 10) C over a period of 60 min (i.e. a rise of 5 K/min) and keep this temperature level for at least 120 min. Remove the dish with its content from the furnace. Allow the dish and its content to

31、 cool on a thick metal plate for 5 min to 10 min and then transfer to a desiccator without desiccant and allow to cool to ambient temperature. Weigh the ash and the dish to the nearest 0,1 mg as soon as ambient temperature is reached and record the mass. Calculate the ash content of the sample as de

32、tailed in Clause 8. If there is any doubt of complete incineration (for instance presence of soot at visual inspection), then add droplets of water or ammonium nitrate to the sample before it is reloaded into the cold furnace and reheated to (550 10) C for a period of further 30 min until the change

33、 in mass is lower than 0,2 mg. Automatic equipments may be used if the method is validated with biomass reference samples of an adequate biomass type. These equipments shall fulfill all the requirements given in this clause regarding sample size, heating procedure, atmosphere, temperatures and weigh

34、ing accuracy. Deviations from this paragraph shall be reported and justified. 8 Calculation The ash content on dry basis, Adb, of the general analysis sample, expressed as mass fraction in percent, shall be calculated by Equation (1): ()()ad1213db100100100MmmmmA= (1) BS EN 15403:2011EN 15403:2011 (E
